Intercoolers?

[JL]

Hi peoples,

I have just signed up to the site and it is very cool. I have recently purchaced a mildly worked R32 GTS-T which I am very happy with. It is still running the standared intercooler and I want to upgrade to a new/bigger front mount intercooler. Where sould I get this done, (I live in Melb), and should I spend the doe on a custom job or not.

Cheers

JL

R U planning to increase boost?

[JL]

It's running 12psi on the standard cooler thats why I need a bigger one. And yes I will be upping the boost to between 12psi and 20psi. So I want a cooler that would be efficent enough up to 20psi

[BlueTwo]

Mmm, that air will be getting hot, especially at 20psi. Nizpro in Bayswater did a great job on mine (custom fit).

But one thing to think of is how much room there is under the front bumper. Don't want it close to the radiator, cos it will heat the air instead.

[JL]

Yeah thats the problem. I have heard Nizpro do good work. I guess I will take it to them and see what they think. What about AVO in Cheltnam??

[BlueTwo]

I don't know much about AVO. I looked at them when shopping, however the bang for buck stacked up well with the boys from Bayswater + they sure know their way around a Nissan

[JL]

Cheers man thanks for your help. Whats their address in Bayswater if you have it.

I live around your area just wondering if you have been on a cruise yet with theses guys????

Cheers

Cheers

Come to the Victoria Section of the forums.. lots of good info there about workshops and so forth.

As for modifications, you cant go past Ice Perfromance in cheltenham.. send Leewah a private message, he has shares in the business.. and owns a Monster GTR

cheapest option is probably to get a gtr cooler .....

[red17]

ARE do a full kit for the R32 GTSt and from all accounts their coolers are very good. The guy has done many hours R&D getting them right. Its $1178 for the cooler, or about $2100 for the whole kit. Im considering one of these myself at the moment, as is my brother.

And i sincerely hope thats not a stock turbo you plan on running 20psi through..... can you say BANG?

for $1200 u can get a cooler the size of 900 x 450 x 96 which is a monster and wont fit a r32!

My new cooler is 600 x 300 x 76 and fit real nice in the front of my car!!

AVO are a bit dodgy these days and u will be paying for their name not for the quality of their work.

Use ice they did the fitting of my new cooler and do a great job.

And i hope u aint planning on running the stock turbo at 20psi either!

Go bar and plate and fit a 580Hp FMIC behind the standard Bar.

Depends on your goals.

Stock turbo? If so just remove the panel under the front guard behind the stock cooler.

After extra acceleration? Unless you want to track race on a regular basis save your money and don't buy a front mount till you do something with your stock turbo , like high flow it.

after putting my new fmic on, and seeing how crap the stock cooler is i dont know y u keep saying not to put a fmic on. The stock cooler is a piece of crap, the air tubes on it are miniature at best and the design of the end tanks is useless. Its so small that at the speed the air goes through it, there is not enough surface area for any cooling to occur, and it was full of oil resisdue. I got a gain on 25rwkw at same boost just by putting a fmic on!

With the stock cooler and 0.8 bar i got 155rwkw and now if u see the red graph i got 165rwkw at on 0.5 bar and the green bar is 183rwkw at 0.9 bar!

i have a full HKS intercooler kit with pipes

have a look http://www.directimported.com.au/parts/partslist.htm

[CroatianR33]

Mate as far as I know the stock turbo's are ceramic based and if running 13psi (recomended MAX!!) you still have a chance of blowing your turbo!! I would say buy another turbo and FMIC together so save up a bit more and get it all put in at once....

Someone please correct me if im wrong.....

[T0nyGTSt]

Hmm...

The story goes that a good FMIC will let you boost to 0.9 bar on an S1 ceramic turbo.

After that you better be looking for a steel wheel or a HKS GT2540 or something like that... (3037??? HA HA!)
